[c.f. version 11-Apr-2002, I'm dipping into the spec in pieces, so some of my comments are coming piecemeal.] Section 2.1: ------------ I think the second sentence of section 2.1 should be stated more positively; e.g. [[ A datatype defines a mapping from literal strings to corresponding values. XML schema defines a number of datatypes that are usefully employed with RDF (numbers, dates, etc.). The RDF datatyping framework supports the use of these datatypes, and any additional ones that may be defined. ]] Section 2.1.1: -------------- The first paragraph has key concepts: I suggest setting them out as a list to make them more visible. Do the concepts of "canonical lexical space" and "canonical mapping" really have any impact in the datatyping framework? I don't see that they do, and therefore that they don't need to be described in the RDF core datatyping framework. The three key concepts that serve my understanding are: - lexical space - value space - mapping fromn lexical to value space If "canonical" representations are significant, then I would prefer to see them dealt with separately from these core concepts - in a separate section somewhere. #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org>
